University High School

Summary:

University High School is a public high school located in Waco, Texas, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,678 students. The school is part of the Waco Independent School District, which is ranked 901 out of 968 districts in Texas and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite serving a predominantly Hispanic (74.55%) and economically disadvantaged (88.86% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population, University High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Texas high schools, with performance on STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams below the district and state averages across all subject areas. The school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 93.9% in 2020-2021 to 85.5% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has increased from 1.1% in 2019-2020 to 3.5% in 2020-2021, higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like Midway High School and Robinson High School, which are ranked much higher in the state and have higher proficiency rates on STAAR EOC exams, University High School lags behind significantly. Even nearby charter schools, such as Paul and Jane Meyer Public High School and Harmony School of Innovation - Waco, outperform University High School academically, despite serving similar student populations. The performance gaps between racial and socioeconomic subgroups at University High School are also concerning, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as low-income and English Language Learner students, performing significantly lower than their peers.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.

Through the collection of pre-pandemic (2019) and current data, SchoolDigger.com is sharing test scores, enrollment numbers and school demographics from schools across the country – and we make it easy to see how impacted schools compare locally and statewide.
